GR-8.....I'll see your Leon Russell and raise you the Rolling Stones...and while you're at it...

Hey, You, Get offa my cloud !!!

Out on the winding, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. but I loved you, too.

Bad dreams in the night
You told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.

Heathcliff, it's me, I’m Cathy, I've come home and I´m so cold,
let me in your window

Heathcliff, it's me, I’m Cathy, I've come home and I´m so cold,
let me in your window.

Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely,
On the other side from you.
I pine a lot. I find the lot
Falls through without you.
I'm coming back, love,
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream,
My only master.

Too long I roamed in the night.
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right.
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering Heights,

Heathcliff, it's me, I’m Cathy, I've come home and I'm so cold,
let me in your window.

Heathcliff, it's me, I’m Cathy, I've come home and I'm so cold,
let me in your window.

Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
You know it's me--Cathy!

Heathcliff, it's me, I’m Cathy, I've come home and I´m so cold,
let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I’m Cathy, I've come home and I´m so cold,
let me in your window.

Heathcliff, it's me, I’m Cathy, I've come home and I'm so cold.

ernest_price · « **Reply #80 on:** June 11, 2009, 11:37:04 AM »

So to get back on topic (I know - why bother

)..

The survey was interesting.

What I *did* like was that in all the "what do you dislike?" sections they pretty much nailed the options such as chinese sellers, postage piracy, changes to feedback rules etc.

So while whether they actually do anything is another matter, I did feel that they understand the issues that make eBay 'less fun' and drive reduced seller or buyer activity and this survey should put them in a position them of knowing what they need to actually do over the next 12 months.

Main contentious issue in there was an option to freeze payments to a seller until feedback (or some other method) is received from the buyer that the item was received as described and in good condition.

*FluffyDuckee* · « **Reply #81 on:** June 11, 2009, 11:56:37 AM »

Thanks for that Ernest. Oooh that freeze payments to seller before feedback is a nasty one.

Just love ya pics Llama. LOL

ernest_price · « **Reply #82 on:** June 11, 2009, 12:03:33 PM »

I didn't get too spooked by it - just interested that they have the guts to put it forward at this very early stage.

ernest_price · « **Reply #83 on:** June 11, 2009, 12:08:41 PM »

The other interesting option was they would verify all sellers [as in do it properly - not the current basis].

Both those options were in the "think from a buying perspective" to work out what was reducing your buying activity or what would it take to increase your buying activity.

*FluffyDuckee* · « **Reply #84 on:** June 11, 2009, 12:39:08 PM »

Well I don't think there is such an issue with verifying sellers, but I think buyers should also be verifyed by the same method. Why differentiate?

I think if they introduced the suggested freeze payment options, most sellers would walk away. Of course this would work best if everyone paid by Paypal. Ebay isn't able to hold bank transfers.

It's very interesting that they seem to know the issues pertaining to chinese sellers, postage piracy, changes to feedback rules. I wonder if they intend to listen to the feedback? I hope so.

Poddy · « **Reply #85 on:** June 11, 2009, 12:41:42 PM »

eBay listen??

And ducks have fur too hahahaha

*FluffyDuckee* · « **Reply #86 on:** June 11, 2009, 12:43:48 PM »

If you look closer Poddy, you will notice that I have neither fur nor feathers. But the feathers are slowly growing back....

ernest_price · « **Reply #87 on:** June 11, 2009, 01:34:49 PM »

I should clarify that the words "chinese sellers" were not specifically used. The issue/s that describe that sort of stereotypical seller [low price, high postage, longer postage times, no local warranty and near impossible to return/replace faulty goods] was/were clearly noted as issues impacting people selling and buying [separately].

cupie · « **Reply #88 on:** June 11, 2009, 01:53:15 PM »

I also wish they'd so something about spam sellers....jeese...you search for something and have to go through hundreds of identical listings cramming up each category....can't they list a few and put the rest in a shop? tedious, boring, annoying.....obviously designed to cram and spam listing categories...makes browsing painful.

ernest_price · « **Reply #89 on:** June 11, 2009, 03:15:45 PM »

So something like a search option to click on where the search only returns the first X items of a sellers identical nventory in that category.

Poddy · « **Reply #90 on:** June 12, 2009, 03:51:33 PM »

I must say that eBay must REALLY want to hear more of my opinion.

I have just got another email inviting me to comment, they must value what I have said highly.

I must think about what other suggestions I should send, the first thing I thought of involved a chicken, some barbed wire, Viagra and the eBay board of directors.

And of course some inventive imagination

col52 · « **Reply #91 on:** June 12, 2009, 07:45:30 PM »

I got one too this morning Poddy, about 2 hours before the "educator exam" came through.

They asked me if I would recommend ebay to friends, etc., I said "definately not". They asked why...............so I just had to tell 'em, didn't I?

Poddy · « **Reply #92 on:** June 12, 2009, 09:07:27 PM »

They cant really make up their mind.

One moment they are seeking my opinion and next they are dishing out slaps

Slap 1

Posting disruptive or hostile comments, including interpersonal disputes, which is not permitted at eBay.

This is a copy of your post:

Babs,

Truth is often heard out of the mouths of babes.

However what comes out of the mouth of Babs is..............well .........DIATRIBE !!!

No, really !!

Slap 2

Posting disruptive or hostile comments, including interpersonal disputes, which is not permitted at eBay.

This is a copy of your post:

Isn't it strange how one word can affect some people.

Is anyone eles offended by the word:-

DIATRIBE

Or is it just people who have been sainted in their own lifetime?

No doubt that word must have touched a sore spot on the saintly glow.

eBay make up your mind.

Talking about reporting, and the results thereof..

I broke my own rule the other day and reported a post of Eloi's, in which she used veiled terms to call me a bastard...

Nothing happened of course, and the post remains.

So what has to be done to get a post removed ??
